This book examines the implementation and usage of  the Bunda College of Agriculture Greenstone digital library. The digital library was mainly created to address the need for digitizing the local  Malawian collection. It has been hampered by lack of funding and has largely  depended on already available resources. Members of staff have been trained on  various aspects of the Greenstone digital library software, however they are not  specifically employed for the digital library functions. Implementation and usage of the Bunda College Digital Library has largely been  successful, however more needs to be done to make it sustainable and maximize  its benefits. Libraries in Malawi have more to learn from Bunda College Library.  This research has revealed many challenges associated with the creation and  management of a digital library at the same time demonstrating the rising  demand for digital information, leaving librarians in Malawi with no option but to  mobilize their efforts towards the creation of digital libraries. With commitment  and will progress can be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783847306399\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Case Study of Bunda College Greenstone Digital Library\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783847306399","offer_id":39472620503133,"sku":"9783847306399","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e8ed0f06-f3ce-4409-b0e2-ecd93d76d08e.jpg?v=1765350062","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/implementation-and-usage-of-digital-libraries-von-felix-majawa","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
